Yahoo Music has teamed up with Gracenote (the database from which most applications - like iTunes - pull CD data) to offer a giant, legal lyrics repository with lyrics from several major music publishers.

Searching for lyrics online has always been somewhat of a hit-or-miss affair, with search results driving poor users to pop-up ridden web sites and questionably accurate lyrics. That's because for reasons beyond my limited mind, aggregating and publishing most song lyrics on the internet was technically illegal. Until yesterday, that is. With Yahoo's new lyric search, you can count on accurate lyrics drawn from a fairly comprehensive catalog. — Adam Pash
